A pretty town with a wonderful mix of independent shops and high street stores with the bonus is that everything is walkable from the car parks and train station.
The High street has both big brand names and smaller retailers and on Monday there is an eclectic market that sells everything from food to clothes. Visit our market page for details on a selection of markets around the resort.
There are clothes shops, shoe shops, as well as gift shops where you can pick up the perfect present for a loved one. There are also a number souvenir shops, so be sure to grab something for yourself to remind yourself of your visit to this pretty little town.
Saxon Square is a great open air shopping centre which is brimming with cafes, jewellery makers, beauticians, hairdressers, sweet shops and farmers markets. If you are looking to buy something a bit different then there are some unique smaller shops in Church Street and you can also visit the historical Priory as a wonderful antidote to a busy days shopping.
Christchurch has some fabulous independent restaurants and cafes for when it all gets a bit too much as well as two spa hotels if you need a treat after all that shopping.
